Description

The current unpredictable business environment caused by economic uncertainty and rolling power blackouts is causing some business entities to reassess their going concern ability. 

The impact on going concern is pervasive throughout the financial statements, from how accounting professionals view the directors’ decision, to the manner in which the actual values disclosed on the financial statements are prepared. Going concern is a critical assessment of the health and sustainability of the company. Users of financial information are the ones who pay the price for an incorrect decision on a reporting entity’s going concern status.
